How long, if at all, did it take those of you speaking of debilitating hip pain for the pain to go away or ease up?

I had this side effect too. I'm 26 and was wondering why I hurt so bad. I mentioned it in passing, not even relating the two.Aren't we special.

Im not sure how long its gonna take u. I was very lucky no side affects. Oh except one. It drives me nuts. These brain zaps. No its not only when I miss a dose or something as obvious as that. Just every so often sometimes frequently it feels like I am struck my lightning no pain but literally my brain zaps like an on off switch. When it happens it happens like multiple times a night. I will deal with this. This med has changed my life. I was depressed and sad and angry. Now im like easy going, well im still a jerk but I can tolerate things like my father having cancer, and losing his entire tongue. Its really impressive. I still hurt but it doesn't last long. Like I have a clarity. Things big things dont bother me which was the problem. I only take this med. 30mg for depression anxiety. No weight gain, no hair loss. No aches or issues. I take mine at night not in the Am it helped me feel more normal it helps me sleep. I was burnt out all day when I took it in am. I read so much negativity on these sites, so I wanted to share my success. I get along with my parents for Christ's sake. Its a miracle! Well the meds and my psych dr. She is really on top of it so im very lucky

Yes I know. My dr is aware. Its well worth feeling better. This med has changed my life. I won't be on it forever, but I will be on it as long as I feel good. Its not a daily thing and it doesn't really affect my life as it is always before I go to bed. Read so many replies or posts with people being on multiple meds. Im on one. All meds have side affects, its finding one u can live with. Every individual body reacts different. Some of these side affects ie passing out is a lil crazy.

I take 20mg daily and do fine without side effects now, though when I first started mid November had minor such as feeling high, feeling sad and brain zaps. I started with 10 mg per day then worked way up to 20mg. After 1.5 to 2.0 months at the 20mg level noticed life was good again. long lead in time it's now working.

I fully agree.. It starts out wonderfully! For the first few months I got along with everyone, felt great & was on top of everything.. Now I have continuous brain zaps that won't stop. It started out when I'd miss a dose or take it a couple hours late. Now it's a constant thing.
My hair wasn't falling out at first either. Now I don't think it will ever stop! I've also recently noticed I've been overly anxious. My husband & oldest son have told me I'm no longer myself..
The negative side effects start out slowly but over time they become overwhelming and uncontrollable.
To those who have positive results on this med, I'm truly happy for you.. For the rest of us, all we can do is pray these side effects don't last forever once we've tapered off completely..

***I've also had a lot of hair loss, but I was told it was due to a vitamin D deficiency. Who knows for sure though - my PCP said it was the vitamin D, but he doesn't know I'm taking Viibryd.

I took viibryd for about three weeks and about one week in my toes began to feel numb. Then slowly it progress up the back of my leg. The back of my right leg was numb, but also felt tingly, super sensitive, and kind of itchy. Especially when I laid down. I told my dr. And he took me off the medicine. It as been a month now and symptoms have not gone away. My primary doctor said it sounded like a pinched nerve and probably unrelated, but I see other with very similar symptoms and I think there must be a correlation. I was put on a dose of steroids to see if it helped-it didn't. I know need to contact my dr. Again have an MRI.

I've taken viibryd for about a month and a half and have started to have awful side effects. They had to take me off and the doctor I see is throwing away the rest of his samples because too many patients are havering problems. Be very careful.

Really??? Have u been to the dr? Maybe the er? Im kinda thinking u have a health issue unrelated to a dose of medication. Im not sure who prescribes your medications, but I suggest going to a psychiatrist not a gp. If my appendages were all jacked up I would go to the er... they can run a series of tests to find out what is wrong with u. Crazy idea.......

Oh I am seeing a few specialists and they are still working on figuring this out but one of the thoughts was I took viibryd for 2 years could be side effect. Unsure at this time as I do have other issues but that has been one school of thought anyway. I have not taken viibryd since August so now we are looking at other things but still one of the thoughts anyway. Please know I am one person who believes in being responsible for your own medical care etc. So no worries
